The Canfor mill in Vanderhoof received a brief scare on Wednesday.
Workers were evacuated due to a small fire occurring at the Plateau Division facility, forcing a temporary closure.
A company spokesperson says local firefighters responded to the situation containing the blaze quickly, but there’s no word on where it started in the building or the estimated damage.
They add workers made the call shortly after leaving the mill, but couldn’t confirm if anyone was injured or if anyone was sent to hospital allegedly for smoke inhalation.
The facility has since re-opened.
We’ve made calls to both the Vanderhoof Fire Department and Canfor for more details, but have yet to respond.
